To Feel the Love of the Tzaddik

Ribbono Shel Olam (Master of the Universe), Almighty, the Tzaddik (righteous leader) desires to bestow upon us every goodness—houses and courtyards of gold and silver—as it is said: "And their father gave them many gifts of silver and gold and precious things, with fortified cities in Judah; but the kingdom he gave to Jehoram because he was the firstborn" (II Chronicles 21:3). For the Tzaddik loves us with an eternal love, a love that has no end or limit, an unconditional love (a love not dependent on anything). This love is rooted in the very essence of our souls—a love of Da’as (divine consciousness) that transcends days, transcends time, and is beyond all human understanding and intellect. It is a love that rises above Chochmah (wisdom) and Da’as (knowledge), a love that is truly infinite, beyond all spiritual "colors" and calculations. For regarding all the souls who have merited to draw close to the True Tzaddik, it is said: "And Jacob lifted up his feet and went to the land of the children of the East" (Genesis 29:1). These are souls that existed before the creation of the world, higher than the four worlds, higher than Atzilut (the World of Emanation), and higher than the firmament of Arabos. Regarding this, Moshe Rabbeinu (Moses our Teacher), peace be upon him, said: "Please let me cross over and see the good land that is on the other side of the Jordan, that good mountain and the Lebanon" (Deuteronomy 3:25). These are souls drawn from the Libuna d'Mocha (the whiteness of the brain/supernal intellect). The Tzaddik’s love for them is a love that predates the creation of the world, from a time when all the worlds were still one with Kudsha Brich Hu (the Holy One, Blessed be He)—a true unity that cannot be divided or severed. Such is the love the Tzaddik has for all his Chassidim (followers), students, and those close to him—a love without end or purpose, without beginning or conclusion.
